Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A vegan diet is more and more prevalent in the general population in Israel in recent years. There have been some concerens that a vegan diet may lack in bone-health related nutrients (such as calcium, protein and vitamin D), and therefore may cause a decreased bone mineral density. The study aims to compare bome mineral density and other biochemical bone health parameters in vegan and omnivore non-menopausal Israely females.
